Why I chose UB Global Development and Peace Program I chose the program because it is exactly what I want to study and it fits perfectly for me at this point in my life. I believe all of the learned knowledge will best prepare me in the future.

What I enjoy most about the program The diverse student population allows a wide array of opinions and voices to stand out, which complements the program immensely. The night class schedule is also convenient for working professionals.

On classroom experiences I enjoy the interactive components, such as videos and interviews, and simulation exercises many of the professors include in their classes.

Plans for after graduation I hope to work for a non-governmental organization, focused in West Africa, which promotes sustainable agricultural development, alongside women's empowerment and advancement.
